• 4 boneless chicken breasts, skinned and cut into 1/2-inch strips
• 3 tbsp. fresh lemon juice
• 4 large bell peppers (any color combination)
• 4 tbsp. extra virgin olive oil (I use less)
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 2 large onions, sliced thin
• 2 tsp. whole cumin seed or 1 tsp. ground (or to taste)
• 2 tsp. fresh oregano, chopped or 1 tsp. dried
• 2-1/2 tsp. fresh hot chile pepper, chopped or 1-1/2 tsp. dried
• salt and pepper to taste
• cilantro, chopped (optional)

Sprinkle chicken strips with lemon juice and set aside.  Cut peppers in half and remove seeds and ribs.

Heat the oil and saute the onions for 10 minutes; add the peppers and saute for a few minutes more (I like my peppers on the crispy side, not too soft).  Add the garlic and saute for a minute; then add the cumin, oregano and chile pepper.  Cover and cook for 10 minutes.

Add chicken strips; cover and cook until chicken is cooked through, about 10 minutes.  Add salt and pepper to taste and sprinkle with cilantro if desired.  A very aromatic dish!
